​( Director Bradford Literature Festival) 
​

Sixteen-year-old orphan Pachpan is the most skilled of the gang of orphan pickpockets who work the train station in Mumbai. Abandoned by their parents to the merciless Sagar Bhai the boys are called by numbers rather than names. One day, Pachpan steals a wallet loaded with money but when he visits the home of the wallet's owner at the address found on an ID card, he begins to feel guilty about the unexpected events caused by his crime. Orphans are the main characters of Harami, but so is Mumbai, a relentless and demanding city. Against the backdrop of this chaotic city unravels a story of crime, punishment, atonement and salvation.
